I thought Days Inn was a respected chain I've stayed at over the decades. I needed a place close to a trailhead, but was shocked when I arrived at the hotel. It was a dark entrance, a dark parking lot, and extremely loud music blasting somewhere nearby.
Although the staff was helpful in getting me a room, I quickly noticed the phone was disconnected, and the bathroom dingy and dirty evident of years of use. The staff returned to the room, moved the bed to access the phone hookup, revealing tons of dust and dirt. After changing the cord, phone still didn't work and he left.
The bed was awkwardly made up with the top sheet on top of the blanket. Who wants to sleep with a scratchy blanket next to their skin? What?!
While trying to salvage the night before a big hike, I realized I could not drown out the booming music nearby. So I packed up and returned to the office to drop off the key.
Staff did not suggest a refund, or anything, so I left driving, an hr and half back home without going on my hike. I'll never again trust Days Inn. Why not call the police and lodge a noise complaint? I'm sure the city of San Jose has noise ordinances after 11 pm. Never again.
